The Beginning of the End
NIGHT 18- THE WILL, AND THE SOUL
LOCATION: HEADQUARTERS
The Order remained quiet throughout the day. Lavi alongside Allen stood outside Allen's room door.
"Is Kanda Alright?" Allen asked, Lavi who was leaning against the wall in front of his room.
"I don't know." Lavi said, as he leaned close to Allen's ears.
"Maybe, he broke up with a girl…" Lavi said, smiling.
"Lavi, that's not funny." Allen said, as he walked passed Lavi, and the stairs, and made his way into the dining hall. The dining hall was lively with laughter, tears, arguments, and debates. Allen smiled. This place was indeed home. Lavi later came into the dining hall.
"Can I have spaghetti………………………..(and of course the list would never end." After Allen ordered his food, he sat down next to Lavi. The Dining room; however got quiet, as Kanda walked in. Lavi stood up.
"Yuu, over here." Lavi screamed. Kanda remained silent. He looked tired, and it looked as though he wasn't taking care of himself. He didn't even turn his head to look at Allen or call him Bean Sprout, the only that could be seen was the fire in his eyes. Kanda sat down right away next to several other exorcists. They looked worried for his health, but he ignored them. Lavi and Allen looked at one another.
"Something is definitely wrong with Kanda." Allen said.
"Could it have been something to do with the exorcist that died a few weeks ago?" Allen thought.
"Allen, Lavi, the supervisor wants to see you." A Finder said, as he passed the table.
"The supervisor." Lavi, and Allen said.
"Allen. Lavi, Come in." Komui said. Riba, and Reever stood by his desk arguing.
"Allen, Lavi, I have news that may shatter you both. Daisuke apparently is dead." Komui said.
"Daisuke, it can't be." Allen said, in shock.
"How did this….. His partner?" Lavi asked.
"Andrew, His partner, survived, but his heart is weak, and his mind ism isolated. I do not think that he will recover soon. They were like brothers, ever since Andrew arrived here at the Order, Daisuke seems to have been there for him." Komui said.
"I see." Lavi said, as he turned his head away to hide his tears.
"You may go visit his body, to say your farewell." Komui said. Lavi, and Allen left the Office.
"Allen, are you aright?" Lavi asked, worried.
"Yeah, I think." Allen said, as he walked up the stairs to go to his room.
"I know lets go outside, and get some fresh air." Lavi said, grabbing Allen's arm, and dragging him down the flight of stairs.
"WAIT, LAVI." Allen screamed.
"Lavi." Allen said, trying to pull his arm away.
"You need to cool it, Allen." Lavi said, smiling. Allen didn't complain. They both walked down the path towards the Lake in the middle of the entanglement of trees. Upon arrival Allen scanned the area.
"Lavi." Allen said.
"Hmm." Lavi said, as he looked down at Allen.
"Who is that?" Allen asked. Lavi turned towards the direction of where Allen had been pointing. A young girl was standing on the edge of the lake. Her hair waved with the breeze, and her hands were clasped together.
"That's Samantha." Lavi said in a mumble.
"Samantha." Allen repeated.
"She's the younger sister of Hitsumoto, the exorcist that died a few weeks ago." Lavi said.
"The deaths have been increasing lately; so I wouldn't be surprised to see many more people here." Lavi said.
"This is a place where shattered hearts come to overcome there pain." Lavi said.
"A place where they can get past there suffering, a place to console." Allen thought.
Allen flinched. Lavi looked at Allen. Allen pointed his finger. Lavi turned his head.
"Ka…n..da." Allen said. Kanda was sitting by the lake, while holding his sword, while his long hair weaved back and forth with the wind. His spirit seemed strong, but his body weak,
"He's suffering." Lavi said, behind Allen.
"Could it have something to do with the exorcist that died a few weeks ago?" Allen asked.
"I don't know, but it isn't like Kanda to be depressed." Lavi said.
"He usually doesn't give a care in the world when someone dies." Lavi murmured, as he turned back towards the path to return back to the Order. Allen turned his head to see Kanda once more. He remained in that position, not moving, but suffering, and depressed.
"I wonder if he'll ever get back to normal." Allen thought.
"Everything is moving so quickly."
